VR-wise I've mostly been playing In Death recently. It's a roguelike archery FPS with kind of a Dark Souls aesthetic. Very fun, very challenging. I've only managed to make it to the boss twice, you can see my second attempt at the bossfight in the video below.

I played through FORM yesterday. It's pretty short, and there's no real attractive narrative there, even though it sets up a framing plot (that doesn't really get resolved). It does explore some neat puzzle mechanics, but there's no real brainteasers. Everything can be solved with just common sense and grabbing everything (the only two times I got stuck for more than a minute I missed something I needed to grab). Regardless, the presentation is great, with the intricate machine animations and the music.

I also played In Death and got up to that same boss in 3 runs (I think). I wish it were checkpointed though, I wanna try him again without going through 2 castles of mooks again.

Also, I think this is kinda cool...

What with the source being available and all, I'm surprised no one's done a VR patch for Arx with motion-controlled magic gesturing.

I expect that the Arx community is fairly small these days, the community of people actively modding Arx is even smaller, and the VR community isn't huge either. Doesn't exactly increase the odds of bespoke VR patches for the game - added to which motion-controlled gestures don't exactly strike me as a trivial problem, as you'd have to recognise specific gestures in 3D.

I was expectantly waiting for the "FUS RO DAH!" which never came :(
